Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The forecast for today just couldn't be nicer ... mid 80s, sunny, breezy, and much less humid. This is below "normal" here, and I'm loving it! :) My garden is happy ... with a lot of rain a few nights ago, and then cooler, everything is just thriving.
Last night I did a bit of laundry, dusting, and a bit of decluttering. The TV shows I like were all reruns, so I was up and down a good bit. I didn't do everything I wanted, but it's "good enough" for now.
This afternoon I'm meeting my brother and sister-in-law to take care of some business, a bit of a visit, and go out to dinner. I am So looking forward to that! I'm also looking forward to getting off work early! LOL!
